I'm thinking about failure...
Do you really fail?
Like, ever…
Where do you draw the line?
Is failure that your ambitious project went down in flames? Did you trip and fall flat on your face? Were you living in a false world of illusions?
Maybe.
But I bet you’re still not a total failure...
What about the new friends you made?
The ones who finally “get” you. The ones you'll cherish for life. The ones who lift you up and inspire you. Legends.
What about the skills you earned?
You honed your craft on multiple fronts, and in ways you even didn’t know were possible. Honestly, people would consider you a master at this point. How awesome is that?
What about your mind?
This is arguably your greatest achievement. The way you carried yourself through that rollercoaster of emotion and struggle is admirable. Your doggedness, resilience, and calmness under pressure should be celebrated.
You're a f*cking champion.
Don't let anyone call you a failure.
Especially don't let it come from you.
“Even if you fail at your ambitious thing, it’s very hard to fail completely.
That’s the thing people don’t get.”
— Larry Page

Did this post resonate? I’d love to hear your thoughts:
I had to reframe this recently, I failed to sell my second bootcamp... But I did sell other services instead 🤔 it was a weird failure.
Promise I won't let me call me a failure 🫡
I’d like to add: list at least 5 things that you’ve gained.
